Chapter 13 – This kind of thing, Ruan Xia definitely won’t do

Women’s hearts are like the needle at the bottom of the sea, and men’s hearts are also like the needle at the bottom of the sea.

Assistant Chen felt that it was too difficult to guess what was on Mr. Fu’s mind. As someone who had always worked with Fu Cheng’an, Assistant Chen envied Ruan Xia and wanted to slack off together.

But in just a moment, Assistant Chen became the all-around, dedicated and elite Assistant Chen again.

That night, Assistant Chen still couldn’t sleep.

[Ruan Xia : Play games?]

[Assistant Chen : Yes!]

Ruan Xia was playing happily, and it was almost dawn.

She felt that her state was not right, as she had forgotten that Assistant Chen was Fu Cheng’an’s person.

Ruan Xia sighed.

Assistant Chen, who was concentrating, asked subconsciously, “What’s wrong, Miss Ruan, do you want a 98K? I can send it to you.”

Ruan Xia : “Did you see the smoke grenade in front? I threw a heart-shaped one. Why did I throw a heart-shaped one? Because when I was throwing the smoke grenade, I was thinking of your Mr. Fu.”

Assistant Chen : “……”

At this moment of glory, Ruan Xia was also surprised. She originally just wanted to show off, but unexpectedly, she really threw a heart-shaped one. She promptly recorded it.

Assistant Chen was silent for a moment, “Miss Ruan, I think Mr. Fu has not been in a good mood lately.”

Ruan Xia understood. Indeed, having a gaming partner was useful!

Assistant Chen : “So…” If Ruan Xia could be gentle and understanding with him, Mr. Fu might develop a good impression of her.

Ruan Xia : “Don’t worry, I won’t try to cozy up to him.”

This kind of thing, Ruan Xia definitely won’t do.

On Monday, Aunt Sun looked at Ruan Xia and exclaimed, “Miss Ruan, what happened to your dark circles?”

Ruan Xia put on sunglasses to cover up her dark circles.

Ruan Xia has very fair skin, which makes her dark circles very noticeable after staying up late.

Auntie Sun : “You can’t wear sunglasses to work, but I have to admit, you look strangely good with them.”

Looking at herself on her phone, Ruan Xia thought that just for Auntie Sun’s comment, she wanted to wear sunglasses to work. But it looked too strange, so Ruan Xia had an idea: if she couldn’t wear sunglasses, why not wear blue light blocking glasses instead?

When Ruan Xia went to work, she went to a glasses store to buy blue light blocking glasses.

But when she saw the gold wire frame glasses, she hesitated for a moment. The glasses weren’t exactly the same as the ones Fu Cheng’an wore, but the style was very similar.

Ruan Xia : “Can you show me this one, please?”

More than half an hour later, Ruan Xia left the glasses store wearing a gold wire frame glasses. She had tied her wavy hair into a messy bun at the back of her head.

For some people, changing their appearance can completely transform their style, but not for Ruan Xia. She always had a delicate and innocent look, unless she deliberately hid it, just like when she played Fu Cheng’an’s secretary.

Ruan Xia arrived at the company on time and sat down at her desk.

When it was almost time for lunch, Fu Cheng’an returned to the company. He walked past Ruan Xia without looking at her and went straight to his office.

Ruan Xia glanced at Assistant Chen, and they seemed to be communicating with their eyes. At least Ruan Xia felt that they could understand each other.

“What’s wrong with your Mr. Fu?”

“Didn’t I say yesterday that he wasn’t in a good mood?”

“I’ll go have lunch first.”

Ruan Xia stood up and found that Fu Cheng’an was looking at her and Assistant Chen.

With a smile, Ruan Xia waved her arm at Fu Cheng’an and then at Assistant Chen before heading to the cafeteria.

Fu Cheng’an said, “You guys seem to have a good relationship lately.”

Assistant Chen wiped off his sweat, wondering if Fu Cheng’an was displeased with their close relationship or if he really thought it was good.

Ruan Xia sent a message to Assistant Chen.

[Ruan Xia : Work hard, Mr. Fu’s most capable assistant!]

[Assistant Chen : Let’s work hard together!]

In the afternoon, Zhou Yu came to the company, but Fu Cheng’an was in a meeting, so Zhou Yu could only wait in his office. When he saw Ruan Xia, he gave her an extra glance.

As Fu Cheng’an’s secretary, Ruan Xia is treated exceptionally well. Every time someone comes to see Fu Cheng’an, like Zhou Yu for instance, they would also greet Ruan Xia, making her work experience very enjoyable.

Zhou Yu : “Miss Ruan, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. I’m Zhou Yu, a friend of Cheng’an.”

Ruan Xia : “Nice to meet you.”

Zhou Yu : “Shall we have dinner together tonight?”

Ruan Xia, who wanted to go home to catch up on her TV shows, promptly declined and found an excuse, “You must have come to see Mr. Fu. It’s not appropriate for me to go with you guys.”

After saying that, she lowered her eyes and didn’t look at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu: “Okay.”

Before going to Fu Cheng’an’s office, Zhou Yu gave Ruan Xia an Oreo he had taken from the pantry, as if comforting her.

When Fu Cheng’an returned, Ruan Xia didn’t want to deal with someone who is in a bad mood. Even though she could have comforted him, it’s hard to console a no-CP male lead. It’s best not to make things worse. Fu Cheng’an didn’t look at Ruan Xia, and Ruan Xia didn’t look at him either.

After Fu Cheng’an entered the office, Ruan Xia packed up and went back. She didn’t forget informing Assistant Chen that she was leaving early.

Placing his suit jacket on the sofa, Fu Cheng’an asked, “Why did you come here?”

Zhou Yu replied, “What do you mean why did I come? We agreed to meet, and since I was passing by, I came to wait for you.” He then said meaningfully, “When I came in just now, I saw Miss Ruan. I can only say that you are lucky.”

Fu Cheng’an looked at him, and Zhou Yu continued, “Are you bullying the poor girl? I have to say, this little girl is not easy. She wholeheartedly thinks of you as her husband, and look at you. She doesn’t even dare to have a meal with us. I don’t know how you usually coldly reject her.”

Fu Cheng’an: “I coldly reject her?”

Zhou Yu: “Otherwise, why? Even if you cooperate, what can you do? At most, acknowledge your identity.”

Fu Cheng’an didn’t bother to explain and took a sip of his coffee.

When the two left, Ruan Xia’s workstation was empty again.

These days, Fu Cheng’an felt like Ruan Xia was busier than him.

Zhou Yu teased, “Tsk tsk tsk, did the little girl got scared by you so much that she went back early?”

Assistant Chen was already preparing to leave, and had made plans to play games with Ruan Xia later. Fu Cheng’an was leaving early today, so he would also leave early.

However, before playing games, he had something to do. Ruan Xia felt that she had dark circles and asked Assistant Chen to help her buy some eye masks to reduce puffiness.

Why did they still stay up late to play games despite this? Because they enjoyed it. They weren’t staying up late for the sake of staying up late.

Assistant Chen said, “Mr. Fu.”

As Fu Cheng’an passed by Assistant Chen, he caught a whiff of Ruan Xia’s fragrance on Assistan Chen’s body again and said, “Come with me later.”

Assistant Chen : “Yes, Mr. Fu.”

When the fairy-like Ruan Xia was stood up by Assistant Chen, she rolled around on the bed and checked her phone. Unfortunately, everyone who could play games with her was busy, even Aunt Sun was busy doing square dancing.

Playing alone, Ruan Xia felt it was not very interesting. After all, playing games with a team was more fun than playing alone, and Assistant Chen was also very good at playing games.

Ruan Xia called Assistant Chen, “Assistant Chen, how much longer do you think your boss will keep you at work? Why did he bring you to the gathering?”

Assistant Chen replied, “It’s hard to say.”

While playing games, Ruan Xia was a bit of a newbie, but Assistant Chen told her what to do.

In the private room, while everyone was eating, Zhou Zhiyuan remembered something. The reason was that a wealthy couple played separately after their marriage, and when the wife had something to handle, the husband always sent his assistant to help her. As a result, the assistant later had an affair with the wife and resigned.

Zhou Yu asked, “And then?”

Zhou Zhiyuan replied, “It was a plastic marriage from the beginning, and they both played their own games. However, the husband didn’t expect that his assistant would betray him.”

Fu Cheng’an stood up, “I’ll be back in a moment.”

Zhou Zhiyuan : “What’s wrong with him? Brother Fu hasn’t been himself today. He has looked at his phone several times during this dinner. Could it be that something is happening in his company?”

Zhou Yu : “I don’t know. I haven’t heard anything.”

As he left the private room, Fu Cheng’an saw Assistant Chen on the phone, repeatedly addressing the person on the other end as “Miss Ruan.” It was clear that he was talking to Ruan Xia, and he was telling her what to do.

Assistant Chen : “Miss Ruan, it’s not right for you to do it this way. Follow my instructions…”

Ruan Xia : “Okay, and then what?”

Assistant Chen : “Mr. Fu.”

At this moment, Fu Cheng’an saw him talking to Ruan Xia about the game. Assistant Chen felt embarrassed that he had never done this in all the years he had been working.

Ruan Xia remembered her smoke grenade and said, “Assistant Chen, quickly, give the phone to my Hubby.”

Assistant Chen : “Yes, Miss Ruan.”
